1947 Farmall M Getting Ready to Plant Dunn Peas & Ryecor

Posted by SadFarmall on March 11, 2013 at 04:08:00 from (112.213.208.215):

We got the paddock ready for sowing yesterday evening and got Dunn Peas in the ground today. The tractor is our 1947 Farmall M and the Seed Drill is a 1939 Sunlea Stump Jump Semi Rigid Tyne Cultivating Drill (according to the Parts List I have). The seed drill has been converted to tractor hitch, which was an attachment available from the Sunshine Harvester Works. A couple of photographs attached.

You can see that the ploughing is not very deep. We have extremely hard soil here (mouldboard plough will not work) and very shallow top soil on clay. Ploughing deeper than 6 or 7 inches brings up sub soil.

Also, if anyone knows where there are any parts at all available for Sunshine Seed Drills like this one, I would be very grateful!
